Two Takes

Pictured below is smoke rising from the Beirut airport after an Israeli attack a few hours ago.

Most people's reaction to this picture would be, "oh no, the war in the Middle East is spreading."



My initial reaction: "Dang, even Beirut has a nicer tower than we do."

In all seriousness, things do appear to be escalating at a frightening clip over there. It's scary to think what this might do to oil/gas prices...already over $76/bbl at latest check.

As I was scrolling down and saw the picture I instantly knew your comment even before I could see it at the bottom of the screen... And my first thought was exactly the same as your! :-P
